Abstract
In March 2007 the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, bid farewell to 1,700 troops going to Somalia as part of some 8,000 AU peacekeepers. The AU force was sent to Somalia to replace the Ethiopian troops that had ousted the Islamists in late 2006. By the end of February 2007, only Uganda, Burundi, Nigeria and Ghana had agreed to send soldiers for the mission.
